Pre-labour Rupture of Membranes at Term in Women With Gestational Diabetes and the Risk of Neonatal Hypoglycemia.

Objectives: The management for improving maternal and neonatal outcomes of women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) arriving at the delivery ward with pre-labour rupture of membranes (PROM) has not been elucidated. We tested the hypothesis that prolonged PROM in women with GDM would result in higher rates of neonatal hypoglycemia.

Methods: We retrospectively enrolled women with diet or insulin-controlled GDM who presented with spontaneous clear PROM.
